Hello Denise
I totally agree with Dr Justin. Previously doctors were hesitant to do laser/ peels on patients on accutane due to the potential risk of scarring and delayed wound healing. However these teachings were based on 3 small case series in the 1980s.
There are studies done in recent years that show insufficient evidence to support delaying treatments such as chemical peels, non-ablative lasers or fractional ablative lasers on patients receiving accutane treatment. (Isotretinoin and Timing of Procedural Interventions: A Systematic Review With Consensus Recommendations; 2017 Aug 1)
It is safe to do non-ablative or even fractional ablative laser treatments while you are on accutane. Discuss with your doctor to find out more. All the best!
Regards,
Dr Jiwei Wu
